‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ First Reviews Call It One of the Best Spidey Movies Ever

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse doesn’t open in theaters until the middle of next month, but a few critics have already seen the movie and they’ve started tweeting their thoughts. And for the most part, they are extremely (and I mean extremely) positive about the first animated adventure starring Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and the assorted Spider-Men (and Hams) of many different universes.

They also includes me, in this case. Here is my own tweet about the film.

And here’s a sampling of the tweets from my colleagues so far. In sum, they say it’s one of the best Spider-Man movies ever (or maybe the best, sorry Spider-Man 2) and one of the best comic-book movies of any kind in recent memory. They love the animation, they love the voice acting, they love Spider-Ham. (I mean, obviously; he’s Spider-Ham.)

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse opens in theaters on December 14. Look for my full review tomorrow morning right here on ScreenCrush.
